So, as I keep trying new apps despite being pretty happy with Better Trucks, I figured I’d give you the latest.
Stuff I don’t really do GoMo, Courial, no work available on these, not quite sure what they are, some manner of on demand work I think Veho, last mile delivery, no work here, not even sure they’re operating in STL, a YouTube video showed a map of their warehouses, and STL wasn’t on it, but at the same time, they’re onboarding drivers here GoShare, Frayt, on demand I think, haven’t tried it, they want me to pay for a background check, paid for the one with Frayt, but my paperwork wasn’t in order, so they didn’t bother with it, but did keep the money. CDS, Complete Delivery Service, on demand pharmacy deliveries, not much and too far or at a time that doesn’t fit my schedule. I think they kicked me to the curb, but not sure about that. OneRail, on demand delivery, total train wreck, been trying to hook up with them for months, first application got ignored, second got a scheduled interview almost 1½ months later only to get stood up, waiting on a third try.
Stuff I’m doing Skipcart, on demand work, done a couple for a client that uses every service, seems to pay a bit less for it than anyone else when they actually have anything Roadie, my old standby, lots of garbage on their, but there is the occasional gem, especially the CVS deliveries they have now UberEats, another regular standby, has mostly hot garbage, but once again, there are gems in there if’n you can be patient. Dispatch, package delivery, mostly industrial stuff, has very little in STL for cars, does pay good, so long as you’re near the pickup Amazon Flex, yep, I gave it another shot, last week was much better with surge routes well ahead of time, this week… Same old crap, base pay, nothing else Better Trucks, my bread and butter, useless as a second job since the main shift is 9AM load time, pay route and route length are a bit vague, but I’ve been averaging $25/hr most routes.
And that’s where we are, always looking for new stuff, so I’m likely to either update on some of these apps, or add something else to my selection.
Just dashing for me at the moment, Uber eats as a backup if that goes to hell overnight I suppose. I maintain the account, but haven’t used it in quite some time.
Looking to expand, if only to have options on crappy days.
Seems like this list would be an awesome start to a wiki though. I really had no idea there were quite so many options.
Shockingly this list isn’t even close to complete, I prefer packages, food and people in that order, and UE is the only food app on the list. For example, Toya of Toya Reacts on YouTube heavily does a catering app called… Deliver’d I think it is. I also know of a few apps that aren’t in my area yet like Shipt Delivery, not to be confused with Shipt, same company, different service. Heck, you might even find a local, back when I last did this in 2019, I stumbled across a small local food delivery service here in STL, along with one in the Cape Girardeau area that was also doing parts of southern IL. There’s a ton of stuff out there.
